[Chorus]
A               E         D
It's not that I never did tell you
F#m                      E         D
It's more that you should have just known
A               E         D
Once you break it you've bought it
F#m             E         D
And once you've bought it it's breakable


[Vesre 1]
A               E         D
In town at the bar there's a calendar
F#m             E         D
From 1933
A               E         D
It's been hanging there for decades
F#m             E         D
Since sobriety lost to reality
A               E         D
Sometimes I'd sit in the corner
F#m             E         D
And invent stories and all of them crimes
A               E         D
Of pretty girls kidnapped by radicals
F#m             E         D
Who fell in love with them after a time


[Chorus]
A               E         D
It's not that I never did tell you
F#m             E         D
It's more that you should just known
A               E         D
Once you break it you bought it
F#m             E         D
And once you've bought it it's breakable
F#m             E         D
Yeah once you've bought it it's breakable

[Verse 2]
A               E         D
At the edge of town where the streetlights drown
F#m             E         D
And the highway melts into the dark
A               E         D
Built me a shack with a porch out the back
F#m             E         D
Where I sit and shoot bottles like question marks
A               E         D
Sometimes you wonder at yourself
F#m             E         D
And how it is you're still alive
A               E         D
You've done all them things you never thought
F#m             E         D
Like kissing ass and calling it compromise


[Verse 3]
A               E         D
In town at the bar there's an exit
F#m             E         D
That leads back to something before
A               E         D
Pretty girls kidnapped by radicals
F#m             E         D
That took from them all that they stood for
A               E         D
It's not that I never did tell you
F#m             E         D
It's more that you never did know
A               E         D
Once you break it you bought it


[Outro]
F#m             E         D
And once you've bought it it's breakable
F#m             E         D
Yeah once you've bought it it's breakable
F#m             E         D
Yeah once you've bought it it's breakable
F#m             E         D
Yeah once you've bought it it's breakable
F#m             E         D
Yeah
